AEDM 2011: Day 4 A quick sketch

My work table on Nov 3rd (I´m posting each day what I created the day before):

The plan is to cut all those cardbox boxes, gesso/base paint them and work on a series called "Facing my fears" which truly means putting a face to each of them.

Here´s the first sketch, my fear of not being liked.

Yesterday my garden looked as if it had snowed. Here are some pictures to tell you the whole story.

This is a very young "palo borracho" tree in our back yard.

This is his sibling. Planted at the same time but in a much much muuuuuuuuch smaller pot.
Both are offsprings from my neighbour´s "palo borracho" tree planted from seed.
The black seeds are inside these fluffy cotton like ... oohhhh... eerrmmmm... how is it called? ... ok, then ... thing. :D
In early winter you can see the hard skinned fruits and then by early spring the cover falls (beware of sitting under these trees then, when I say hard I really mean hard) and you can see the fluffy material that will fall like snow in late October/early November.
